I've had my Pink Lining changing bag for a little over eight months and like it but don't love it!.. For £79.00 I thought it would be perfect, but to me it just doesn't fulfill all my expectations..

The Yummy Mummy is their most popular baby changing bag. The exterior of the bag features the Sam The Dalmatian print and has two canvas elasticated side pockets with pretty PU bows and a front canvas pocket with Yummy Mummy slogan and cupcake patch. The bag comes with an adjustable shoulder strap that is long enough to fit over any pram/buggy handle bars. Internal Features: 2x insulated bottle holders, 2x nappy pockets, pen holder, key fob, mirror, phone pocket, small zip pocket, padded changing mat and wet zip bag.

The bag itself is well made, attractive to look at with a fun design.. I love all the little compartments, and have enjoyed using it, but my biggest bugbear with the bag, is it just doesn't have enough space inside, as the padded changing mat takes up Too much valuable space.. Why didn't they make a separate exterior compartment on the bag as this would then enable you more space to fill with stuff your baby requires?. I have to cram everything in and pray the zip doesn't bust when I zip it up...

This is the back of the bag and as you can see they could quite easily attach a pocket for the changing mat to slip into and free up the inside?! - it just makes so much more sense to have the mat storage on the exterior of the bag. This tiny change would improve the use of this bag and make any parents life that little bit easier as everyone knows HOW MUCH stuff our little people need!..

The Body Shop add to their Vitamin C Skin Care collection with Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser, it has been formulated to pep up tired, dull skin and create a lit from within glow without the need for shimmer particles. This lightweight gel, water based moisturiser gently hydrates skin - perfect for oily to normal skin and maybe even dry complexions with a serum, whilst clarifying and aiding a natural glow to the face. The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser not only cools and calms the skin but also absorbs immediately making it the perfect day wear choice - it also does not interfere with the texture or finish of any make-up applied on top. It leaves my skin plump, nourished and looking fresh - great if like me you are lacking in sleep. The fragrance is gentle and fresh, not strong or overpowering. In my opinion the only downside is that this does not contain an SPF.. But most foundations contain them now or you could simply add one to your morning routine?.

Kiehl’s micro-blur skin perfector is a lightweight, satin finish skin-perfecting formula that combines an instant blurring effect with long-lasting, visible skincare results. It promise's to refine the appearance of pores and improve the texture of skin over time which I think is interesting for an instant blur product. Kiehl’s advise using this as the last step in your skin care routine day and night. The Micro-Blur Skin Perfector feels “balmy” – gliding on smoothly on the skin – but does not leave a waxy or greasy finish. It contains a blend of Lipo Hydroxy Acid (LHA), which gently exfoliates to give you radiant, smoother skin; lentil extract, which helps to strengthen and tighten pores, and bark extract, which helps give a smoother texture. The formula is good for oily skin and I could see slight improvement of appearance after 4 weeks. I'm really impressed with it, my skin stays matified and complexion looks brighter, clearer and smoother. It has made my large pores on my nose appear much smaller and less noticeable which I think is amazing!

The Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector* is paraben-free, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic and is appropriate for all skin types and skin tones.

I'm always on the lookout for a new phone case but haven't found one I love until now! I was contacted by Mr Nutcase offering me a chance to review one of their personalised phone case's - The site was so easy to use, I chose the Full Wrap Around Premium Edition at £19.95, then uploaded my chosen photo's, checked out and 2 days later my gorgeous phone case arrived, I can honestly say I am so so happy with it.. Of course the photo's are gorgeous as they are of my children and favouite quotes.. But the case itself is really good quality, it feels really sturdy and the print is really clear, I would definitely be happy if I'd paid and will order from this site in the future, my Mum was at my house when the case arrived and she was extremely jealous.. So I'm planning on getting her one for Christmas! I love that you can personalise them with whatever you want - wedding, holiday, family snaps or just your favorite quotes!.. Mr Nutcase also do pernalised tablet/laptop cases, mugs, and for all us beauty lovers a mirror! Go and have a look at the site to see how it all works, they also offer free worldwide shipping which is even better as I am such a scrouge when it comes to paying postage! :)
